A healthy crowd of 9,398 turned up to see the new-look Glory for the first time this season and were rewarded with a first half goal to Wayne Srhoj and second half wonder strike from Adriano Pellegrino to secure the two-goal win.

The win ends a run of two losses to start the season for Glory and is just the second clean sheet of goalkeeper Tando Velaphi's career, while the result gives the Jets a win, loss and draw from their opening three games.

Glory began defied their early-season results by starting the brighter of the teams in their first home game of the season.

On several occasions in the opening 20 minutes Glory looked dangerous going forward with crosses, but the Jets were able to hold on gallantly until the 23rd minute.

Mile Sterjovski was able to coolly put Srhoj in behind the Jets' defence and he had no trouble slotting the ball past Ben Kennedy for the game's opening goal before the rain began to fall.

Newcastle's problems then worsened with Ben Kantarovski off with an ankle injury for Sean Rooney, and Fabio Vignaroli and Sasho Petrovski picking up yellow cards.

The best chance of the remainder of the half also fell Glory's way with Victor Sikora just putting too much on a ball that could have given Sterjovski a clear-cut chance to give the home side a second goal.

Jason Hoffman also had a good chance for the Jets just before half-time, but his shot from outside the box sailed just wide. The Jets remained frustrated going into the break with Rooney and Ljubo Milicevic also earning yellow cards from referee Craig Zetter.

Momentum had swung somewhat Newcastle's way as the rain continued to fall to start the second half.

Tarek Elrich went close to scoring but couldn't get his shot on target after a good cross from Milicevic and header from Nikolai Topor-Stanley.

Glory's win was sealed shortly after when Pellegrino drilled a classic strike from just inside the box right past Kennedy. The cross coming in from Naum Sekulovski was perfect and the Jets 'keeper had no hope of stopping Pellegrino's shot.

Matthew Mayora had a golden chance to score Perth's third goal shortly after with a clear path to goal with Kennedy out of position, but his rushed shot went wide.
